Comm ID: Lt. Mike Anderson Recipient: 5th Fleet High Command Subject: Kusari Naval Forces
Good day High Command,
Today I started off with launching our LNS-Mitscher and moving to Galileo to check out some reports on a new installation being built there, named Freeport 14. Whilst i can not report anything on the installation except the fact that it is still in very early stages, what i can report on is [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima, a Kusari destroyer that contacted us whilst out there in Galileo. By what the captain said, who is actually Vice Admiral Sakomoto Ryoma, they were attacked by two Outcast "Ranseur" -class battleships. These two ships were the two we know well, Commodus and Smith. After a talk with the captain I decided it is best to escort the ship to Norfolk, since we were close to the Colorado jump gate, where our engineers could at least patch the ship up for it to safely arrive to one of their own shipyards for full repairs.
Once there the KNF destroyer moored with Norfolk and maid repairs whilst their crew was treated by our medics. Their casualties were fourteen members of their crew, a most saddening loss.
Once all critical parts of their ship were repaired and safe, we proceeded to escort the ship out. A Forlorn ship joined us at Norfolk, namely miss Regina Silva. She accepted to scout the path in front of us, and for no payment as well. We arrived to Kepler safely and stopped at Ames, where we had a talk before the KNF leaving to Shikoku.
That is all so far. Below will be attacked the black box of this event.
[08.05.2017 16:35:07] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Konbanwa.
[08.05.2017 16:35:16] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: This is Destroyer Okinoshima, do you copy?
[08.05.2017 16:36:28] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: ?: This is Lieutenant Commander Mike Anderson of LNS-Mitscher searving under the 5th fleet. How may we help you?
[08.05.2017 16:36:55] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: We have been heavily damaged during an engagement with two Outcast battleships.
[08.05.2017 16:41:41] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: I repeat, we are heavily damaged. We would like to request to enter House Liberty sovereign space under your supervision
[08.05.2017 16:41:45] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: for emergency repairs.
[08.05.2017 16:42:01] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike:What is your current location?
[08.05.2017 16:42:31] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Not afar from Colorado system jumpgate.
[08.05.2017 16:43:01] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Hail.
[08.05.2017 16:43:20] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: Ah there you are. Good day to you
[08.05.2017 16:43:35] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Sorry for the bother. As you can see, we took quite a beating.
[08.05.2017 16:43:41] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Alone against two battleships.
[08.05.2017 16:43:47] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: It is no problem.
[08.05.2017 16:43:47] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: That was not easy.
[08.05.2017 16:44:19] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: We will escort you to Norfolk shipyard where you can get fixed up.
[08.05.2017 16:44:19] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: One of them is equipped with cloaking technology so we should be careful.
[08.05.2017 16:44:29] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Hai. Arigato gozaimasu.
[08.05.2017 16:45:08] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Ready to jump on your order.
[08.05.2017 16:45:12] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: Follow us and you will be back home in no time.
[08.05.2017 16:45:19] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Understood.
[08.05.2017 16:45:52] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: Seems this pilot is having some problems...
[08.05.2017 16:45:55] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Would that civilian be blocking the gate?
[08.05.2017 16:46:08] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: I hope they are O.K on board.
[08.05.2017 16:46:21] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: All clear.
[08.05.2017 16:46:22] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: There we go, we can proceed
[08.05.2017 16:47:02] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: I'm ordering my crew to limit long range scanning until we leave Liberty space.
[08.05.2017 16:47:26] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: It is of no big need, but if you wish.
[08.05.2017 16:48:24] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: That said, please accept my apologies. I forgot to introduce myself. Vice Admiral Sakomoto Ryoma.
[08.05.2017 16:49:33] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: Nice to meet you, Vice Admiral.
[08.05.2017 16:50:12] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: So this is the heart of Sirius sector.
[08.05.2017 16:50:14] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: Norfolk isn't far, i hope your engines are not damaged?
[08.05.2017 16:50:22] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Engines are O.K. for now.
[08.05.2017 16:50:54] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Those Kishiro engines can take a beating, fortunately. But we lost a few men during the engagement.
[08.05.2017 16:52:18] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: And may i know what are the names of these two ships that attacked you? We do have quiet a lot of Outcasts capital ships-
[08.05.2017 16:52:25] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: roaming as they wish.
[08.05.2017 16:52:44] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Hai. Callsign "Smith" and "COMMODUS".
[08.05.2017 16:52:51] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: Mostly destroyed on sight, but they just keep coming.
[08.05.2017 16:53:00] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: Damn, those two. Once again.
[08.05.2017 16:53:03] {X-Hunter}: why is there a knf ship here whats going on
[08.05.2017 16:53:12] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: The Smith gave up on chasing us quite quickly.
[08.05.2017 16:53:19] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: But the Commodus kept fighting.
[08.05.2017 16:53:19] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: We damaged both numerous times
[08.05.2017 16:53:30] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Until they ended with almost no hull left.
[08.05.2017 16:53:35] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: They managed to cloak though.
[08.05.2017 16:53:39] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: In fact, this ship saw destruction of both multiple times.
[08.05.2017 16:53:46] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Hail, X-Hunter.

[08.05.2017 16:57:02] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: I do not know if we could have returned to Shikoku system with those Outcasts roaming around.
[08.05.2017 16:57:34] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Mooring complete. We are proceeding with damage assessment in the critically damaged areas...
[08.05.2017 16:59:09] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Our engineer report some concerning breaches, but nothing that cannot be fixed.
[08.05.2017 16:59:36] 2017-05-08 16:59:35 SMT Traffic control alert: amkliberty has requested to dock
[08.05.2017 16:59:53] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: I'm sure our engineers can at least patch it up until you reach one of your own shipyards
[08.05.2017 17:00:21] Forlorn|-Regina.Silva: Any casualties?
[08.05.2017 17:00:25] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Injured personnel is being taken care of. Mitscher, what sum of money should the Admiralty wire the the Navy for the resources-
[08.05.2017 17:00:30] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: and expertise used?
[08.05.2017 17:00:45] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Casualties : Fourteen.
[08.05.2017 17:01:07] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: No payment will be taken, it is the least we can do for our friends.
[08.05.2017 17:01:35] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: I regret we weren't there to help you whilst under attack in the first place.
[08.05.2017 17:01:39] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Well. I do hope Shikoku fleet will be able to repay the gesture in kind.
[08.05.2017 17:02:01] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Sadly, our military is not really used to operate together.
[08.05.2017 17:02:22] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: I hope for that to change.
[08.05.2017 17:02:51] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: That would be best for the stability of our borders... I'm being told everything critical is almost fixed.
[08.05.2017 17:03:09] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: This will need an extensive check on Yokohama shipyard but should hold until we reach House Kusari.
[08.05.2017 17:03:54] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Code green... Beginning unmooring procedures...
[08.05.2017 17:04:17] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: We are ready to return under your watch, Mitscher.
[08.05.2017 17:04:17] Forlorn|-Regina.Silva: Want me to scan a safe route for you, and ahead of you?
[08.05.2017 17:04:39] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Your aid is appreciated, Silva-san.
[08.05.2017 17:04:49] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: Good job Norfolk, we thank you for your service. Now let us move out if that is all?
[08.05.2017 17:04:51] Forlorn|-Regina.Silva: Alright. I won't even ask for payment.
[08.05.2017 17:04:54] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: You should however ask Liberty Navy.
[08.05.2017 17:05:28] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: We are out of our jurisdiction here and Liberty Navy is taking all the decisions.
[08.05.2017 17:05:30] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: Help is appreciated Forlorn pilot
[08.05.2017 17:05:32] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: We are ready to proceed.
[08.05.2017 17:05:37] Forlorn|-Regina.Silva: Roger that. I'll scout for you.
[08.05.2017 17:05:50] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Arigato gozaimasu.
[08.05.2017 17:06:03] Alexis-Clau: arigato
[08.05.2017 17:08:15] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: Maybe we should take Kepler?
[08.05.2017 17:08:19] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Hai.
[08.05.2017 17:08:23] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: That would be wiser.
[08.05.2017 17:09:16] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: Forlorn pilot i hope you moved towards the Kepler? It is safer to return that way
[08.05.2017 17:09:26] Forlorn|-Regina.Silva: I do, sir.
[08.05.2017 17:09:53] Forlorn|-Regina.Silva: About to jump.
[08.05.2017 17:12:24] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: Do you wish for us to escort you further?
[08.05.2017 17:12:29] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Do you have any data about this new facility?
[08.05.2017 17:12:48] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Thank you Mitscher. We should be fine from here.
[08.05.2017 17:12:55] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: Hm? Oh, Port Tacoya... Hm, no, nothing that i can remember.
[08.05.2017 17:13:13] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: We noticed a new freeport in Galileo system as well.
[08.05.2017 17:13:26] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: Yes, that is actually one of the reason we were there
[08.05.2017 17:13:37] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Is it harboring criminals?
[08.05.2017 17:13:41] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: Liberty Navy also did and we wanted to check it out.
[08.05.2017 17:14:08] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: Nothing we could notice, but it is a Freeport, so anything is possible.
[08.05.2017 17:14:44] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Hmm. I will make sure Shikoku fleet keep an eye on that facility.
[08.05.2017 17:14:53] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Regardless, thank you again for your assistance.
[08.05.2017 17:15:06] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: I hope we will be able to return the favor soon enough.
[08.05.2017 17:15:09] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: Understood. We were glad to help.
[08.05.2017 17:15:15] Forlorn|-Regina.Silva: This is such a good sight, to be honest.
[08.05.2017 17:15:39] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: An Unioner contact on our scope?
[08.05.2017 17:15:45] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: What the?! Long range scanners show an Unioner
[08.05.2017 17:16:02] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: A smuggler perhaps. Slave liner.
[08.05.2017 17:16:14] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: Pilgrim Liner, *sighs* Probably full of contraband
[08.05.2017 17:16:17] 2017-05-08 17:16:15 SMT Traffic control alert: UN|Rheinstahl has requested to dock
[08.05.2017 17:16:25] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Well. Welcome to the No Fire Zone.
[08.05.2017 17:16:36] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Regardless we should move this beast back to New Tokyo system.
[08.05.2017 17:16:51] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Sayonara, Mitscher. And thank you again. Miss Silva.
[08.05.2017 17:17:11] Forlorn|-Regina.Silva: My condolences for your lost crew.
[08.05.2017 17:17:14] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: I hope to see you again. In a battle perhaps, against that scum.
[08.05.2017 17:17:16] Forlorn|-Regina.Silva: Safe skies.
[08.05.2017 17:17:34] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Hopefully. Those borders need a better watch.
[08.05.2017 17:17:41] [KNF]KDS-Okinoshima: Sayonara!
[08.05.2017 17:17:55] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: Now, only thing left is your payment miss Silva. Will two milion credits do?
[08.05.2017 17:18:15] Forlorn|-Regina.Silva: The Kusari Navy captain already paid, sir.
[08.05.2017 17:18:30] Forlorn|-Regina.Silva: I didn't even ask for any. They had enough losses for today, so I wanted to help.
[08.05.2017 17:18:49] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: Ah i see, well in that case we will return to Norfolk.
[08.05.2017 17:18:58] Forlorn|-Regina.Silva: Safe skies, captain.
[08.05.2017 17:19:15] 5th|LNS-Mitscher: Mike: To you as well, and thank you for the help.
[08.05.2017 17:19:20] Forlorn|-Regina.Silva: Anytime.
